Abstract
As part of a university-wide initiative, an MLIS practicum student under the collections manager was charged with determining the current level of diversity, recommending methods for improvement, and articulating strategies for maintaining diversity in collections going forward. Topics of discussion include assessment strategies for e-journals, successes and pitfalls, and insights gained from faculty in relevant departments.
